In a system of thin alternating layers superconductors and insulators the equations describing static dynamic fluxon solutions are derived. The approach, represented by useful compact matrix form, is intended to describe systems fabricated for example niobium or niobium-nitride films; in limit ultrathin superconductor films it may give model motion layered high-Tc superconductors. Numerical examples current versus voltage curves be expected such an experiment presented.
We have investigated Josephson effects in stacks of both artificial and natural junctions.

Thin films of multiferroic (Bi0.6Tb0.3La0.1)FeO3 were grown on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrate under various oxygen pressures by pulsed laser deposition technique. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the crystallinity thin film is improved with decreasing depositing pressure and at a lower 0.01torr exhibits single perovskite phase preferred (001) orientation. Leakage current as-deposited decreases pressure. Significantly, leakage can be reduced largely an annealing process 800°C flowing oxygen. The...
Characteristic velocities of the electromagnetic waves propagating in vertically stacked Josephson transmission are theoretically discussed.

Self-aligned-gate Pt/SrBi 2 Ta O 9 /HfAlO/Si metal/ferroelectric/insulator/semiconductor (MFIS) field-effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated. Drain current ( I d ) versus gate voltage curves of the MFIS FETs showed almost same steepness as that a non-self-aligned-gate Pt/HfAlO/Si metal/insulator/semiconductor FET. Long retention times with large on- and off-state ratios obtained for FETs. The more than 33 days an ratio over 10 5 demonstrated self-aligned-gate FET 2-µm-long 80-µm-wide...
The exciton-localization effect and quantum-confine Stark (QCSE) on the performance of InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been investigated with regard to indium mole fraction well thickness by means temperature-dependent excitation-power-dependent photoluminescence measurements. can be enhanced increasing or but up 2.5 nm.

By introducing the AlInGaN/AlGaN quaternary system as an active region, we fabricated UV light-emitting diode (LED) with emission wavelength of 348 nm. The optical power is 1 mW at injection current 50 mA under a bare-chip geometry, which highest report among UV–LEDs around 350 nm grown on sapphire substrate. It means that such LEDs high enough to be used in practical application. In contrast it, similar UV–LED based GaN/AlGaN region has been also grown, whose less than AlInGaN/AlGaN-based...
Today NAND Flash memory is used for data and code storage in digital cameras, USB devices, cell phones, camcorders, solid-state disk drives. Figure 13.6.1 shows the memory-density trend since 2003. To satisfy market demand lower cost per bit higher density nonvolatile memory, addition to technology scaling, 2b/cell MLC was introduced. Recently, flash memories with more than [1,2] have been reported.
We prepared SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) ferroelectric thin films on SiO2/Si and MgO buffered substrates using laser ablation, in situ annealing postannealing, observed retention time longer than 7 days. On substrates, only the samples annealed at 800 °C occasionally exhibited good memory properties. successful probability for finding measuring dots increased largely even while postannealing temperature was as low 650 °C; their typical window 3.1 V over days without serious degradation. The buffer layer...
